Families of captives accuse Netanyahu of ‘torpedoing’ Gaza deal
Relatives of the Israeli captives are accusing Netanyahu of having “torpedoed the deal” with Hamas and calling for protesters to take to the streets for a new round of demonstrations.
“Anyone who continues to sabotage the deal for the return of the abductees is leading Israel to complete disintegration,” the group said in a post on X.
It also called on Israeli politicians to “not be complicit in their abandonment to death and the dismantling of Israeli society”.
Protests calling on Netanyahu’s government to sign a ceasefire and captives swap deal intensified after the army last week retrieved the bodies of six captives held in Gaza.
The prime minister responded to the news of their deaths by saying that “those who kill hostages do not want an agreement” for a Gaza truce.
